The magnetic properties and structure of the quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnet CoPS${}_3$

Abstract

The magnetic properties and magnetic structure are presented for CoPS${}_3$, a quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnet on a honeycomb lattice with a Néel temperature of $T_N\sim 120$ K. The compound is shown to have XY-like anisotropy in its susceptibility, and the anisotropy is analysed to extract crystal field parameters. For temperatures between 2 K and 300 K, no phase transitions were observed in the field-dependent magnetization up to 10 Tesla. Single-crystal neutron diffraction shows that the magnetic propagation vector is {\bf{k}}= $\left[010\right]$ with the moments mostly along the $\mathbf{a}$ axis and with a small component along the $\mathbf{c}$ axis, which largely verifies the previously-published magnetic structure for this compound. The magnetic Bragg peak intensity decreases with increasing temperature as a power law with exponent $2\beta =0.60\pm 0.01$ for $T>0.9T_N$.
